Not always. Usually. If you just type MBps vs Mbps into a search engine of your choice, you’ll find quite a few sources that point out that B = Byte and b = bit.
Also, it’s even less always since there are other ways of notating datarate.
Here in Germany, for example, Mbps is usually written MBit/s and MB/s stays MB/s. Similar to kph which we write km/h. Also I‘ve seen mbps written (incorrectly) with a lower case ‘M’ and sometimes with an uppercase M.
Technically Mb/s = Mbps ≠ MBps = MB/s, if you want to stay SI conform.
It’s simply a metric not very well suited for all caps which can cause confusion, if you’re used to different notations.
The image uses a capital B which technically means Bytes not bits. The misunderstanding is plausible
Yes, but the bits per seconds are always written as bps, while the bytes per second are always written as B/s

True about all caps!
